Tottenham ended a four-match Premier League winless streak in style with Harry Kane scoring a brace as they thrashed Stoke 5-1 at Wembley.

Mauricio Pochettino's side marched through their Champions League group despite being drawn with both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund but their recent domestic form has been patchy at best.

Spurs had not won a Premier League game since Nov. 5 but were always the better side in this win as an unfortunate Ryan Shawcross own goal gave them the lead.

That was followed up by three goals in 12 second-half minutes as man of the match Son Heung-min struck before a double from Kane, with Christian Eriksen adding a fifth before Shawcross pulled one back for the visitors.

The Potters are still enduring their worst start to a Premier League season having taken 16 points from 16 games, while the win for Spurs takes them to within four points of Chelsea in third.

Tottenham started the brighter of the two teams but still lacked something of a cutting edge as they failed to truly test Jack Butland in the Stoke goal.

That was until Shawcross inadvertently turned the ball past his own goalkeeper with the Stoke skipper unable to get out of the way as Son's cross deflected off Kurt Zouma and into the defender.

Son almost made it two moments later as he burst forward after intercepting a poor Stoke corner, breaking into the box only for Butland to save his low drive.
